This weekend was awesome.

I was off on Friday and started it off by helping Ed get Mia up and out the door after he'd had a very late night on Thursday. Once they were on the road, I did some more cleaning before going off to get my hair cut. And I do mean Cut.

I made French's Fried Onion Chicken last night after hearing princessbunny rave about it over and over, and I'm so glad I did. SO yummy!

Came home yesterday, got Mia inside, took out the trash and recycling and uninstalled the car seat in my car to make Ed's life easier when he got home. I tried to get started on bacon-wrapped spinach and cheese stuffed chicken only to discover that I needed a slotted pan, like a broiler pan, and I don't own one. I thought about improvising with ( Read more... )

Monday was the shitty day of shit, but it ended well. I met admiringbog at Towson Town Center Mall for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then shopping that was mostly-concentrated in Sephora, both of which are new additions to the mall along with PF Chang's, Burberry, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, and soon-to-open LUSH, Louis Vuitton and Bare Escentuals.
